Depression Support Group

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

whenever i have those feelings, i think of my twin sister and how she would feel if i did that. maybe you don't see it now, but you have people all around you that would be affected. go outside, take a walk and just breathe. just don't do it.

Hun, I've been there, and trust me, if you try it you will leave more hurt and pain behind!! So many will feel lost, and guilty, like it was their fault.

I've lost too many friends that way, and have tried myself - it is so not worth it!! If you want to talk, I am here. Find someone, anyone that you can talk to. Write about in a journal, that always helps me, distract yourself, but please, please, please don't do anything to harm yourself.

tomorrow might be a better dday, trust me i want to do it too, but then i think mabe one dy the pain will stop, and I'd never know what it's like to not want to do it. I hate when others say think about your family, friends, are they thinking about my suffering? Think about yourself and how this would be forever...

thanks for caring. I know I am not alone but it is so hard to deal with it. Each day is such a struggle. I just wrote a poem for english class, and it was all positive and up beat. things that I dont really feel but if I wrote the truth they wouldnt think the same of me. In it I was talking about riding the spinning teacups at disney and I said that life is like an amusement park ride. It is extraordinary and sometimes thrilling- and if you were to get offthen think of all that you would miss out on. But that is not true at all. I guess I was trying to convince myslef more than anything but being positive doesnt work.

Don't choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Remember that the best days were once unknown, too...

...for example...let's say you were depressed and wanting to die the night before...and the next day you got up...and won the lottery. You had no idea that, that opportunity was just around the corner...and you would never have known had you opted to go:)

Always remember that life is full of second chances. Death is a final answer.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
